Kent Odessa – Bo Jacksons

Yo Timmy yo Timmy yo Timmy, ima let you finish, but first ima dunk on you right quick. Kent Odessa is from Brooklyn (by way of Detroit) and this is some of the most brilliant experimental electro pop songwriting I’ve ever heard. Thats all you need to know. Yeah yeah yeah, its a year old. But it resurfaced on the Kitsune America 2 mixtape last month.

Okay, if you’re wondering what the fuck is going on here just watch the video…might be NSFW depending on your job.

Ha, yeah, that prob didn’t help much, but I had to get you to watch it. To complete the circle here, ima include the lyrics below, neatly situated next to a picture of me dunking on Tim.

Lyrics“Don’t stop looking like a physical Picasso when you drag your impotence on the streetDon’t drop all that cynical bravado you need all that self-defense just to breatheBotox, angel hair, candy at the county fair, I got much bigger mackerel to fryFaux-hawk, Grizzly Bear, leave it on the easy chair, I thought you left your laundry to dry?

Everybody shook when I lace up my new Bo Jacksons Everybody look on the blank avenue, go past ’em Everybody shook when I lace up my new Bo Jacksons Everybody look from Cortelyou to Classon

Mount up, careful though, there’s 7-9 Apache and they wanna hang the Colonel himself If you ladyboys don’t get off my Iraqis I’m gonna raid your sandbox myself No chance, no love, not the kind you’re thinking of, I met my Vanna White now she’s gone Rust Belt, Bible Belt, hope that all your cities melt, I’ll never take a piss on your lawn

Everybody shook when I lace up my new Bo Jacksons…

Don’t stop looking like a physical Picasso when you drag your impotence on the street Don’t drop all that cynical bravado you need all that self-defense just to breathe Shell-shock, comatose, vacation in Barbados, you right-wing, shiftless shits on the fly But if your Tea Party come anywhere near my city I’ll sick the Socialists on your sty

The blog is our voice. Sure, we enjoy talking about our favorite sounds, but most importantly it gives us an excuse to listen to what you think is popping! Our strength then, is leveraging this dialog to create digital relationships that, over time, become meaningful friendships and real-life business opportunities.

Our most prized accomplishment has been transforming the digital energy from the blog into live events that are equally valuable to the emerging artists and innovative brands with which we partner. TMD Live delivers music culture as a powerful branded content vehicle for our clients.

A lot of people talk about music on the internet, but we started a label in 2012 to add meaningful new content to that conversation. In addition to being profitable, we covet the label as a wildly fun marketing tool to promote our favorite artists along side the TMD brand. Expect new releases in 2016!
